The secret to my success isnt' a postitive attitude. It is from having been raised in a christian farm family. Bottom line, you do what you have to to get by. Attitude has nothing to do with it. Life sucks. You still do what you have to - period. But you do it ethically, put your faith in God, and in a manner in which you are able to look at yourself in the mirror with a clean conscience every day, you do what you have to. How I feel about it is immaterial. The job must be done.

From this standpoint I take credit and blame for what I do and I lay credit and blame for what others do. And I have no compunction about being frank in defending myself or others against abuse. I stand up for what I believe in. And I defend my ground. Getting things done requires no less. Even if people trying to screw you wish to call it whining because they don't want others to listen and get any ideas.

Attitude has nothing to do with it. Life sucks.

Life sucks? You don't know what sucks! You don't have the guts, gumption or strength of a 7 year old.

You wanna see someone that understood life? Someone with the guts to take on real problems. The worst of problems. Someone that was on this Earth for a very short time but was much wiser than you are.

Go here. And read about my friend Abi Roland. Read about someone that went through the worst of the worst. Read the Journal History You don't have problem! Your life does not suck! Your head does!

If Abi taught me one thing it's NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER GIVE UP! She fought for ever second of her life. Down to the last moment. She was so brave. Tough! She never complained! She went through hell to get to heaven.

Complain and whine and moan all you want. Stew in your own self-inflicted defeat. But please keep it to yourself. I have no compassion for those that won't fight. I have no desire to hear the words of those that give up when there is a fight to be fought. I've seen bravery and I've seen heroics. I see none of that in you.

Keep your self-pity to yourself.
